Eclipse

This is my first time reading Eclipse and like other books by Stephenie Meyer, I love the writing. I think in this book you have to pay attention to smaller details whereas in the other books of the  Twilight series you have to pay attention to the bigger picture. Also in this book you have to have read the others to really understand whats going on because there are small details that you remember while reading this book.

From what I've read so far in this book it seems that Bella (the main character) is braver and more sure of herself. In New Moon she has a phase of depression, that was harder to read because it was slow, which made her seem vulnerable to the world and now that Edward (her boyfriend/ vampire) is back she has more confidence and is yet still scared. She somewhat looses her best friend (and werewolf) Jacob, which makes her sad yet rebellious. Also she is still being hunted by a vampire and the Voultori is at some point going to check and see if the Cullens (Edwards family) have turned her into a vampire yet, which also makes her scared and anxious. She wants to be turned into a vampire very quickly, which brings out how sure she is of her future and her confidence builds when she talks to Edward about it.

Jacob doesn't want Bella to turn into a vampire so quickly because they are best friends and when she changes she won't be human anymore. The love that Jacob has for Bella seems everlasting even though he doesn't love her more than a best friend or sister. I think Bella takes advantage of Jake's love because it seems like she hates him and then forgives him and then hates him again and he always is apologizing to her. She truly does love Jake like a brother or best friend but doesn't seem to know how to express that to him. She always worries for his sake and he is always in the back of her mind which shows she cares greatly about him.

new moon

        I love New Moon because you can never expect  whats going to happen. The suspense keeps you reading. Right when it starts to get boring it turns around and the action starts up again. When I read Twilight for the first time I loved Stephenie Meyers' writing because it captured me. I reread Twilight last week an I felt as if I could go deeper in to the story. I just finished New Moon and felt the same way.
       New Moon deals with a lot of trust. In the beginning Edward tells Bella he doesn't love her any more and has to leave her.Bella loves Edward so much she trusts him and lets him leave. Then she and her old family friend Jacob Black become close friends. She is attached to Jacob so much she will trust anything he says. When he turns into a werewolf and semi-abandons her, she truly believes he isn't her best friend anymore. Later on Bella saves Edward from exposing himself (a vampire) and finds out she trusted a lie. Edward loved her  and left because he thought it was safer for him not to be around Bella. 
       I think that trust is something that has to be built up over an amount of time. When you fully trust someone you have to know that they won't let you fall, that they can hold your deepest secret and won't tell a soul. I think best friends have to have that kind of trust because a best friend is someone you rely on and you can't rely on someone you don't trust. My best friend in the whole world has been my friend since the 3rd grade and  we can trust one another with anything. When Bella says she and Jacob are best friends I don't believe that they can trust each other enough for that. It shows when Jacob turns into a werewolf and can't see Bella, she doesn't trust him enough to stay away from him.
     Trust is an important part of life. You have to know who exactly your trusting and what your trusting them with. When you think you trust someone, say, with a secret you have to think of the consequences of what happens if the secret gets  let out. If it does, you might not be able to trust that person.
